Ebook- The IMG’s Guide to becoming an ACF

This guide draws from both official information on the NIHR website and my personal experience with the Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) application process. As an IMG, I understand how complex it can feel preparing your portfolio documents, making the ACF application and crafting appropriate responses to the short answer sessions of the application. Drawing on my experience of winning competitive scholarships such as the Chevening Scholarship, I’ve outlined my proven templates and strategies for writing strong applications. This is the only guide you’ll need to succeed in future competitive application processes.

The goal of this book is to demystify the ACF pathway and provide practical resources to help you build a strong application. In this guide, I share everything I’ve learned about the ACF application process, including the exact strategies I used during my own successful application. I’ve also included sample short-answer templates, email templates and responses from my own application to help you craft strong, competitive responses for your application

My hope is that this guide makes the process clearer, more accessible, and ultimately helps you secure an ACF post in your chosen specialty.
